HUNTINGTON — A local substance use disorder treatment facility is suing the state and its contracted managed care organization for failure to enforce federal substance use disorder parity laws. In January, UniCare, the managed care organization (MCO) for West Virginia Medicaid, stopped providing reimbursements to OVP Health for urine drug screens performed in OVP Health’s in-house lab. Instead, the screens must be tested at a reference lab to get reimbursements. OVP offers medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, for substance use disorder. Along with counseling, clients must be screened before receiving their prescription. This helps staff catch relapse and weeds out patients who aren’t there to get better.
